FFXIV on Nintendo WII U

[Zenaku]

If its as powerful as the PS3 and/or X360 then it will probably have an ATI R770, with that kind of GPU and a multi-core processor, the system will be a beast. One of the biggest things this controller will do for RPGs is to have a continual menu screen at all times (one less button to push to get to what you want is progress in the development world). Even if it were only the menu screen, I would probably get XIV on the WiiU, I'd finally sell my Xbox360 (pos imo), and be quite happy with my Nintensony duo.

To make a general note about the online experience: Battlefield 3 is coming to the system, so I would assume that the multiplayer and online experience will HAVE to be easier to use (get rid of those damn Friend Codes; or at least have a way to disable them)

it does have a ATI R770 so your right on there and a 3core cpu,

Both the 3 cores thing and the R770 are pure rumors and speculation. Nintendo, IBM and AMD never confirmed any of these.

My guess they are probably holding off to later as for now it is still a prototype and specs could change a bit from now to when it is actually released.

any chance we can get a comment from the mods or devs?

.....reallly what the hell is wrong with you gamers these days?

Back in the NES/SNES/Genesis days....people did not care about hardware specs or any of that crap, all they cared was...

Oh hey a new system, check it out a new controller!, does it look better then the previous one? Sweet I am getting it.

Now it is specs specs specs.... who the hell cares?

Does the Wii:U output on par with the PS3 and 360? yes
Does the Wii:U have a new controller that sets it apart from the others? yes

Ok cool I will get it. That is more Mario/Metriod/Zelda for me, along with a whole new road of games for me to enjoy.

Could FFXIV run on Wii:U yeah sure with some adjustments.

Does it need any special touch input? no not really, make the touch pad a keyboard and your set.

Sorry, i don't feel like seeing FFXIV turn into a dumbed down Wii version...

...then again, who knows maybe they can throw cell-shading into it as well, maybe some language filtering... DLC for a Coliseum to fight against your pokemon in your other game-saves?

[Dubont]

maybe but it's been confirmed that the Wii U's E3 showing used a lot of footage from the PS3 and 360 consoles. Essentially, Nintendo lied about the graphics in most aspects

what are you talking about, FFXIV would be on the Wii U not the Wii and the Wii U has graphics comparable to the 360 and PS3

Nintendo did not lie about anything, they said in the press release that they showed PS3 footage to show what the game will look like on the Wii U, as dev kits have just been sent out, there is no way any third party companies have any kind of demo footage yet.

No, it was confirmed that they used 360 footage and passed it off as the WiiU footage. Also, in your other post, you said that it would have graphics comparable to the PS3. This is not possible unless the give the thing 8 cores or at least 6 =)
